The Lost Art of Ladyhood

12 Essential Skills to be Confident and Classy in a Crazy World

By: Jessie Funk

A teenage girl’s guide to being a confident, classy lady of substance in a substance-less world. In a world where women and girls are constantly under attack from the media with photoshopped, airbrushed images and popstars that tell them all they need to do is party all the time, kiss a lot of boys, be a “mean girl” to gain popularity, max their credit cards to buy designer clothes, etc., The Lost Art of Ladyhood communicates the counterpoint to those of our teen popstars. Happiness does not come from revealing all your skin, going clubbing every weekend where you get so drunk you don’t remember who you kissed, or maxing your credit cards just so you can buy the latest designer jeans. Happiness comes from living a life of character. Teaching girls how to be ladylike has little to do with crossing your ankles and sipping tea correctly; it’s about giving them tools and skills they can use to serve others, to be grateful, to think positively, to set powerful goals, to protect themselves from toxic relationships, and to learn to love themselves enough to where they learn to love others. The Lost Art of Ladyhood is a road map for navigate your way to confidence, classy-ness, character, and learning the lost art of being a lady. Praise for The Lost Art of Ladyhood “[Jessie Funk’s] cool enough to be your older sister and wise enough to be your aunt. The principles in this book will help my daughter and yours grow to become true women of character, confidence, and substance.” —Josh Shipp, Teen Behavior Expert & Host of Parental Guidance “Jessie Funk is a vital voice for the truth, and provides young girls the structure, framework, and inspiration to understand their true beauty and live in a way that creates true success. A girl who knows who she is, what she is worth, and what she can accomplish in her life is unstoppable. These are the types of women we need for the society of tomorrow, so this is the type of education we need to be providing our daughters today.” —Tara starling, founder of Taking Back Beauty Foundation and award-winning Hollywood makeup artist “A beacon of light and goodness in a world that is increasingly dark and difficult for teen girls. . . . [Jessie Funk] helps girls build confidence and self-esteem, teaches about some of the very real dangers that are lurking in this world, and offers a place of safety to share thoughts and dreams in a no judgment zone. I would wholeheartedly recommend [Jessie’s] curriculum for every teen girl.” —Michelle Millburn, author and business coach

Chip Off the Ice Block Murder

By: Jessie Chandler

It's the dead of winter in Minnesota, and Shay O'Hanlon can't wait to close up her coffee shop and get out of town with her girlfriend, Minneapolis cop JT Bordeaux. But when she receives a call informing her that her dad is missing, Shay's plans for a romantic getaway are put on ice. Figuring her dad is on one of his periodic benders, Shay is shocked to learn that his gun has been used in a murder. With the dead man found in a giant ice cube unable to provide any answers, Shay and her quirky friends are bound and determined to find her father—and the real killer—before the trail turns cold. Praise: "Jessie Chandler's latest Shay O'Hanlon adventure is as sharp as a frigid winter day. A body in a block of ice meant for the Winter Carnival Ice Palace is just the beginning of this wild luge ride as Shay sorts through the clues to clear her father of murder. Like a luge, there are twists and turns throughout, but Jessie saves the bigest twist for (quite literally) the last few seconds. Highly recommended."—John Gaspard, author of The Eli Marks Mysteries

All Day

A Year of Love and Survival Teaching Incarcerated Kids at Rikers Island

By: Liza Jessie Peterson

ALL DAY is a behind-the-bars, personal glimpse into the issue of mass incarceration via an unpredictable, insightful and ultimately hopeful reflection on teaching teens while they await sentencing. Told with equal parts raw honesty and unbridled compassion, ALL DAY recounts a year in Liza Jessie Peterson's classroom at Island Academy, the high school for inmates detained at New York City's Rikers Island. A poet and actress who had done occasional workshops at the correctional facility, Peterson was ill-prepared for a full-time stint teaching in the GED program for the incarcerated youths. For the first time faced with full days teaching the rambunctious, hyper, and fragile adolescent inmates, "Ms. P" comes to understand the essence of her predominantly Black and Latino students as she attempts not only to educate them, but to instill them with a sense of self-worth long stripped from their lives. "I have quite a spirited group of drama kings, court jesters, flyboy gangsters, tricksters, and wannabe pimps all in my charge, all up in my face, to educate," Peterson discovers. "Corralling this motley crew of bad-news bears to do any lesson is like running boot camp for hyperactive gremlins. I have to be consistent, alert, firm, witty, fearless, and demanding, and most important, I have to have strong command of the subject I'm teaching." Discipline is always a challenge, with the students spouting street-infused backtalk and often bouncing off the walls with pent-up testosterone. Peterson learns quickly that she must keep the upper hand-set the rules and enforce them with rigor, even when her sympathetic heart starts to waver. Despite their relentless bravura and antics-and in part because of it-Peterson becomes a fierce advocate for her students. She works to instill the young men, mostly black, with a sense of pride about their history and culture: from their African roots to Langston Hughes and Malcolm X. She encourages them to explore and express their true feelings by writing their own poems and essays. When the boys push her buttons (on an almost daily basis) she pushes back, demanding that they meet not only her expectations or the standards of the curriculum, but set expectations for themselves-something most of them have never before been asked to do. She witnesses some amazing successes as some of the boys come into their own under her tutelage. Peterson vividly captures the prison milieu and the exuberance of the kids who have been handed a raw deal by society and have become lost within the system. Her time in the classroom teaches her something, too-that these boys want to be rescued. They want normalcy and love and opportunity.

Resilience

Two Sisters and a Story of Mental Illness

By: Jessie Close,Pete Earley,Glenn Close

With New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Pete Earley, and including chapters by her sister—award-winning actress Glenn Close—Jessie Close shares her story of living with severe bipolar disorder and her tumultuous journey to find the emotional fortitude to bring herself back from the edge. At a young age, Jessie Close struggled with symptoms that would transform into severe bipolar disorder in her early twenties, but she was not properly diagnosed until the age of fifty. Jessie and her three siblings, including actress Glenn Close, spent many years in the Moral Re-Armament cult. Jessie passed her childhood in New York, Switzerland, Connecticut, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), and finally Los Angeles, where her life quickly became unmanageable. She was just fifteen years old. Jessie's emerging mental illness led her into a life of addictions, five failed marriages, and to the brink of suicide. She fought to raise her children despite her ever worsening mental conditions and under the strain of damaged romantic relationships. Her sister Glenn and certain members of their family tried to be supportive throughout the ups and downs, and Glenn's vignettes in Resilience provide an alternate perspective on Jessie's life as it began to spiral out of control. Jessie was devastated to discover that mental illness was passed on to her son Calen, but getting him help at long last helped Jessie to heal as well. Eleven years later, Jessie is a productive member of society and a supportive daughter, mother, sister, and grandmother. In Resilience, Jessie dives into the dark and dangerous shadows of mental illness without shying away from its horror and turmoil.

Rurally Screwed

A Memoir of Losing Myself for Love

By: Jessie Knadler

A magazine editor in New York, Jessie Knadler had a habit of always looking over her shoulder for better options. She wasn’t quite sure moving to Montana and marrying a cowboy was a better option—but, head over heels in love, she did it anyway. At a loss in her new rural environment, she hoped that activities like chicken farming and fence building might provide her with a more profound, virtuous sense of self (and make her husband Jake love her even more). It all led her to some strange situations—and surprising realizations. Written with huge personality and searing wit, Rurally Screwed is an immensely entertaining and moving memoir about the things we do for love—and the lengths we’ll go to find our true identity.

The Undying Monster

The Undying Monster

By: Jessie Douglas Kerruish

The Undying Monster (1922) is a horror novel by Jessie Douglas Kerruish. Recognized as a groundbreaking work of lycanthropy, or werewolf fiction, The Undying Monster was adapted into a successful 1942 horror film starring James Ellison, Heather Angel, and John Howard. Haunted for generations, the Hammand family has grown accustomed to tragedy. Early deaths, suicides, and gruesome injuries plague their family tree, and they have long been regarded as pariahs in their rural English community. When Oliver Hammand survives a vicious attack while walking in the woods one night, his sister Swanhild resolves to put an end to the ancient curse. Seeking the guidance of Luna Bartendale, a powerful psychic, Swanhild convinces her brother to join her on a journey of discovery and danger to not only free their family from its dreadful cycle, but to save their own young lives. Together with Luna, they scour ancient archives, investigate ruined graveyards, and search for whatever clues they can find. As they delve deep into the heart of their family’s mystery, Oliver falls deeply in love with Luna. Led to the edge of existence itself, the trio find themselves face to face with a horror too terrible to imagine. The Undying Monster is a masterpiece of werewolf fiction by a largely forgotten writer of popular romance, mystery, and horror novels. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jessie Douglas Kerruish’s The Undying Monster is a classic of English horror fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Dreaming of Her Best Friend's Kiss (Cowboy Mountain Christmas Small Town Sweet Romance Book 5)

By: Jessie Gussman

Blakley Barclay knows her parents are up to something. They’ve been matching all her siblings and even some other people in her hometown of Mistletoe. But the man they’re wanting to pair her up with? A huge pro-ball player with more muscles than brains and she is NOT interested. So she turns to her best friend for help. Martin Zedler is on the receiving end of some match-making of his own. He is equally uninterested. Blakley’s proposition that they pretend to be interested in each other to foil the romantically inclined efforts of her parents seems like a good idea. Until a well-meaning do-gooder enters them into Mistletoe’s annual Christmas Kissing Contest. When they’re crowned the winners, the town goes on a crusade to catch them kissing every chance they get. How will their friendship ever survive? Listen to the incredible voice actor, Jay Dyess, perform this book for FREE on Say with Jay channel on YouTube.

Such a great series. Can’t wait to read the next book." - Mary ★★★★★ "I loved this story of best friends recognizing their deeper feelings for each other.
